Something fun, and something else really cool!!

Celebrity Dog BlogI happened upon this site last week, which houses all the photos you could ever ask for of celebrities with their four-legged best friends. It just so happens that I'd been pining away for such a resource for quite awhile now. Googling the names of famous doggies which I wanted to get to know better was proving to be a losing battle: Googling "Martha Stewart" (Jennifer Garner's dog) certainly never got me anywhere near the realm of a beloved yellow lab, and Googling the word "Solomon" (one of Oprah's dogs) fetched only link after link about Toni Morrison's novel , "Song of Solomon" (coincidentally, Oprah's dog's namesake). So, if you can deal with all the celeb preening (or, alternately, if you get a kick out of it) then this site's for you! I myself plan to make it a regular stop on my online-errand list!

DisplacedDesigner.comI read about this next topic in the Design*Sponge blog. It's a web site which is serving as a go-between for designers who've lost their livelihood due to Hurricane Katrina, and those of us who can offer some semblance of 'creative professional' help for them, a means to get going again! What an excellent idea!! A great way to help that feels more meaningful than just shelling out dollars (although shelling out the dollars is just as important!!)
